pillowcases made from a vintage sheet bought at an estate sale
I love the mix of vintage and modern. Now I am wondering what took me so long to get around to sewing these pillowcases. I think I was able to make all three in a few hours, which includes interruptions. These look so much better than the khaki and navy cases we were using before.
I used a wonderful tip from this tutorial while making these. Sew a quarter inch seam around the raw edge to use as a guide for ironing. Such a time saving tip! Thank you Chara Michele.
One thing that I can cross off my list.
Cool! Those go with the quilt beautifully. The 1/4" seam idea is great.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love that combo too.
ReplyDeletei love those floral fabrics. what a great idea. your home seems so cozy!
ReplyDeleteVintage and modern definitely works - your pillowcases look so pretty atop the Denisye Schmidt inspired quilt you made. Looks so inviting and homey.
ReplyDeleteOh, they look so beautiful with that quilt...hmmm...who would have thunk it???
ReplyDeleteLovely! I never find anything good when I try to go thrifting.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful combo! Classy, but comfy at the same time I think. Nice work! I might have to give that pattern a try.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors! Everything goes together so well:)
ReplyDeleteLooks great together!! I love the orange, and it makes the orange in the pillow just pop!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. You have an enviable eye for color.

That looks so inviting and you definately have a knack for photography as well.
